The final game of the World Series took place tonight, Saturday, Nov. 5. at Minute Maid Park. The Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies went into Game 6 fighting for the title, with the Astros as the hottest bats in baseball. The Phillies had gone up 2-1 in the series after three games, but Astros fought back and won the last three games to finish the series in Game 6 winning 4-1, giving their manager Dusty Baker his first World Series title as a coach .
How much money will the Astros get?
There is no defined amount to how much the MLB World Series winners make, but the money paid out to the champions is the total of the ‘Player’s Pool’ or prize money. The ‘Pool’ is basically the money added from all the ticket sales during the MLB playoffs. The 2022 just-now winner of the World Series, the Astros, will earn most of the ‘Pool’ money and distribute the total amount between the players and coaching staff.
Some websites put estimates at around $35 million for the winning team and $440,000 per player. The Phillies would get less and something around $25 million and $340,000 per player. Let’s not forget about the ring, which is worth approximately $30,000.
In the 2018 World Series, the Boston Red Sox were paid a reported $31 million as the World Series champions. Each player earned an average of $400,000 and received a Championship ring valued at $20,000. Players on the losing teams made a reported $259,000 each. The 2018 season was one of the biggest payouts to MLB teams.
